Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Cancer Survivorship Is a Process, Not an Ending
Clinical outcomes of venetoclax combined with hypomethylating agents versus hypomethylating agents alone in TP53-mutated myelodysplastic syndromes
TP53-mutated (TP53-mt) myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are aggressive myeloid neoplasms associated with inferior responses to conventional chemotherapy and a high risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).1-3 Although multiple targeted and immunotherapeutic strategies…
Autoimmune features in myelodysplastic syndromes: clinical and molecular heterogeneity with integrated IPSS-M analysis
Donor age and type in allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Strong effect in MDS, limited in AML
Donor age is an important factor influencing outcomes after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), but its relevance across donor types and distinct disease biology in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) remains unclear. We analysed 320 patients with AML/MDS who underwent first allo-HSCT between 2016 and 2024. Donors were categorized as matched or mismatched and further stratified as young (<35 years) or old (≥35 years).

I am a hematologist-oncologist who specializes in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes and bone marrow transplantation. Every day, I collaborate with my colleagues at the OSUCCC – James to create targeted therapies for each patient. Cancer is complex, but I’m confident our research continues to bring us closer to finding a cure. It’s an honor to work at one of the nation’s premier cancer hospitals. Our collective expertise results in faster responses, fewer side effects and more hope for cancer patients everywhere.
Cord Blood Transplant
Secondary Malignancies After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Highlight The 10-year incidence of non-cutaneous SM (6.8%) confirms its impact on late NRM. SM subtype distribution and timing vary by transplant: t-MDS/AML after auto-HCT, PTLD early after allo-HCT. PTLD declined markedly, nearly disappearing in the PTCy era with less ATG/Cord…
Long-term outcomes of patients surviving beyond 2 years post–allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Abstract 6508 Background: Advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have been driven by progress in supportive care, conditioning regimens, and graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. Post-transplant morbidity and mortality are most pronounced in the first…
